Johnson of Harold Street was arrested in May 2012 shortly after one of the prostitutes he “employed” was arrested by undercover detectives. Johnson was waiting in a van outside a building on the 1700 block of Park Avenue while the woman was inside meeting a “date.”

Several other prostitutes were in the van. The girls became concerned after the woman did not return at the expected time and went looking for her. Officers chasing them found the van and discovered Johnson.

An investigation later showed that Johnson was pimping out and sexually assaulting girls as young as 14.

The women were paid with drugs, court records show. Johnson posted suggestive photos of them on an online classifieds site and drove them to meet the “Johns.”

One teen told police that she had been working for Johnson for 10 days and had sex with approximately 50 men in that time. Two teens who were listed in the national database of missing children were found with Johnson.

Johnson pleaded guilty before county Judge Rea Boylan. Deputy district attorney Jennifer Schorn said the 16- to 40-year sentence, which will be imposed following a Megan’s Law review, was part of a plea bargain.

Schorn said the victims agreed with the plea deal because they did not want to have to testify at a trial.
